[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] holgalee:
Hello Darius, I've owned both the SGS1 & 2, and now the Note. I had some misgivings about the Note too, especially since the demo units at the local Samsung shops felt laggy to me. But I did much research and finally got the phone, and it's one of the best decisions I ever made.

Pros:

Huge size makes browsing, checking email and ebook reading a breeze. It's large enough for me to decide to sell off my rooted NookColor as this is much more flexible, portable and has much better features. I find it easier to hold the phone and take photos because of the size, as compared to the SGS2 which was too thin for me to hold comfortably.

Doesn't matter what conflicting information there are out there about pentile display, the screen is beautiful and the colours lovely, not over-saturated like SGS2. Banding is also much better than what the SGS2 suffered from.

Battery life and camera seem comparable to SGS2, if not better. No issues with dead pixels, pink spots, green whatever...I did notice that the display is a tad uneven with a flat grey wallpaper/background, but that was true of my SGS2 as well. In real life I do not use an even toned grey wallpaper, so that doesn't bother me at all. And it's pointless to get all stressed out over little things like that as my life is exciting enough.

The s-pen makes taking notes on the fly so much easier and cooler than digging around for a pen to write on your palm! I like being able to take screen captures too. Hopefully my artistic career will take off because of this phone. Nah...just kidding!

Cons:

Huge size means the self-conscious people may feel somewhat clownish with this. You'll have to put up with a few--not that many--stares, rubber necks and looks of horror from the unenlightened. Those who had owned Palms or are suffering from long sightedness will doubtless praise you for your gorgeous new gadget. Those who wear tight jeans may not be so crazy about it.

It comes with bloatware that slow down the phone (at least for speed freaks like me) and take up space. Thus you may need to root--please read extensively before doing so--in order to freeze or delete the bloatware. This is subjective as some people don't find the bloatware an issue, but I've always rooted my phones and my hands get itchy when I don't. Perhaps once the official ICS comes out, I will no longer need to root as I understand that you can easily delete unwanted apps.

Some apps are not meant for phones this size and may not take up the entire screen, or will look a little soft. So far these tend to be games. It's not a deal breaker for me because I don't play many games and can easily look for alternative games.

And the greatest problem, I feel, is that I may never settle for a smaller phone in the future!

My pros and cons are at my blog, AndroidNZ.net

So far I've written about 8,000 words or something in my review, and the last part is nearly done and currently coming in at around 4,600 words.

If you really want to know the pros and cons in detail that is.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DMax99:
I mean...pray that you won't get one with Dead Pixels like the one that I got recently :(

I heard there are some screen quality issues with the Note from this forum but didn't think I would be unlucky enough to get one. But guess what....:(

But hey...I'm sure you will be luckier than me....and apart from that....it's a GREAT device :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ankydu:
Well the only issues you would face are with the screen and nothing else. If you are buying at some store do sure to take "dead pixel checker" or "screen test" software with you (in ur older phone). You can transfer em to the new phone via bluetooth and test the screen.

Otherwise U can go to the service menu and check the RGB screens for any dead pixel. Best way to check for dead pixel is to lower the brightness to 0% and take the phone in a dark environment if possible and look from a distance of about 5 inches. Otherwise its really hard to make out dead pixels in bright lights, but if they are there and you are watching a movie at night in the bed, u wont be too happy:) to find em. As others have said the screen is uneven on gray color. Do check out the grey color and see if there are any smudges and try to see them on other normal screens. If they are not there then all good.

Regarding dead pixels till now, only white stuck pixels have been reported (me a victim as well). And stuck pixels (particularly in this phone) are visible only on grey color. If you have any more doubts dont hesitate to ask, would be glad to help !!! :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ekerbuddyeker:
I have had both. The biggest decision is the screen. Its fantastic to look at and work on but its massive to deal with. I'm sometimes a little scared I may drop the device and one handed is nearly impossible - which is generally not a big deal except for taking pictures sometimes. Jury is still out.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dogue2000:
Thank you everybody for sharing. I have already exchanged my SGS to Note. Very happy. Seems to be no dead pixels.

most super amoled srceen does not have dead or stuck pixels, is this because of the density of the screen using the 1280-720 screen, also to hijack the thread, what will ppl consider between the note or galaxy nexus, why i'm asking, i will be getting either one next week, so ppls opinion would be great.

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chris95X8:
First off, never post a question in the development section.

Second off, you are not the only one to ask this question so use the search button. It hangs there for a reason.

Third off, having set up a workspace doesn't mean you are ready to build a ROM. I assume you haven't either developed a simple app. How are you gonna make a whole system if you don't know how to make even an app? Go learn some computer languages first then come back here with your ROM and I'll be happy to install it.

Hi,

I have at the moment a HTC Desire, and I would like to switch to something faster, nicer and better looking :P

Now I found a few ( cheap ) phones, which were the best ones.

That are the Nexus S and the Galaxy S Plus, what are you recommending?

The Galaxy S Plus has a faster processor. But the battery was better from Nexus S, and nexus s would get ( most of ) all updates.

What are you recommending? Would the Nexus S still worth the buying?

Thanks!

Edit: Or do you have a good review about the differences about them?
[General Questions and Answers] patpeewee:
I know some1 with the SGS+ and its a fast phone but not even comparable with my SGS2.

Nexus S had a good ICS port and will get it official so i guess its still good enough to buy. Also the nexus s isnt very pricey: only 250 euro in my country (Netherlands).

Hope u make a good and pleased choice :D

Greetz,

Patrick
[General Questions and Answers] Marc.:
That's just the reason I don't know what to choose, the Nexus S is 250 euro, and the Galaxy S plus is 270 euro... And the Nexus S would get official ICS... And is it fast enough to run a lot of games? To run for example Riptide GP? ( that water racing game)? And it has multi-touch?

@patpeewee You are the first one who replies xD on AndroidWorld no one did answer my question, it was nearly the same as this one. Thanks for that.
[General Questions and Answers] AllGamer:
might as well stay with what you have, and wait for next year new phones
[General Questions and Answers] Marc.:
Yeah, but the nice phones are always 500 euro... Thats just the problem, I don't want to give so much money for a phone. Thatś just why this is a great change to get a new one I think.

Anymore poll voters? Please?
[General Questions and Answers] Dirk:
I've been looking at both as a possible replacement for my N1, if it were to die for any reason. Because i prefer a smaller screen those two devices are the only ones on my shortlist.

The SGS+ i ruled out because of lack of dev support and the only NS i can get is SLCD, not SAMOLED which pretty much rules that out too. Because of the low price i'd probably settle for it in a pinch though.

Perhaps you should do what i am and just keep what you have until you have to replace it?
[General Questions and Answers] Marc.:
I understand why you are saying that. But my parents and brother are having the galaxy s... I am using my phone the most, and it's annoying if they could run multiple games, which are lagging at mine Desire. That's just why I want a new one, which is even good as theirs... Nexus St is having the same processor... So it will be even fast as theirs... Please more voters!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andr0idn00b:
The charge/USB port on my current Epic has taken a dump...

Getting a replacement Epic...PLEASE confirm I'm doing this right.

I have:

Backed up ALL apps on Titanium and in SuperUser

Backed up ALL SMS and contacts as well to SD card.

Now, wipe to factory reset on original (it's rooted, and going back to Sprint)

Then just download Titanium on the new phone and I should be able to 'restore' to all my old apps, correct? Or can I install from the card?

Then use the SMS and contact apps to restore that info to new phone as well?

Also, no crazy kernels etc, I just like a stock, yet rooted phone (namely to remove bloatware crap, but really to run wifi/wireless tether)

Easiest root for GB? (I used the one click method with CWM etc all bundled together before on FroYo)

Or,

Just use the Toad Clean ROM?

Let's keep it simple...I have just enough knowledge to be dangerous lol

Also, I'm a truck driver, so if anything goes wrong, I have no way to find the answer, since my phone IS my internet connection (hence the need for the wifi/wireless; screw Sprint and their $30/mo lol)

THANKS!!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EpicNewb4g:
Well if youre getting a replacement and yet to receive it, youll likely have the official ei22 gingerbread. therefore youd wanna head over to this link to root it:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1339478

you should be able to use titanium backup for apps and also any other apps you used to backup sms and contacts will be backedup to your sd card. when you get your new phone, just take old sd card out and into the new phone... then proceed to download titanium and etc..
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andr0idn00b:
it has been in store for a bit, so I doubt it has GB already on it, so I'll either OTA, or google link update it...

I thought the transition would that simple, just wanted confirmation.

Thanks for that link...I'm looking at possibly doing the ACS ICS
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krazy57wagon:
Titanium Backup works well, but if you have CWM and a rooted epic you should just do a Nandroid backup and do an advanced restore with data only from that backup. All your info will be restored you just need to reroot your new epic, go to CWM and your good to go.

---------- Post added at 06:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:03 PM ----------

Also im currently running ACS ICS and it runs great. I always like doing both titanium and a nandroid backup just to be safe that i have all my data fully backed up :)

Do you want to have another Kernel along with GingerDX or another ROM compatible with the LinuxDX kernel?

U can try by your self..

it same like Custom room (some people like this and other people like that)

Just try one by one

what I know is:-

-

Alfs kernel

with nice FXP boot logo (replacing SE white logo)

-

LinuxDX

using GingerDX orrange logo (replacing SE white logo)

no OC but you can feel it scrool very smooth

-

nAa kernel

using very nice logo (replacing SE white logo)

you can OC to 829

u can simply flash onother one if u feel have to do..
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jimmy Thrashmetal:
Hi =D

I just want to know if LinuxDX works fine in all other ROMs or if it's only for GingerDX

it works with others rom but i prefer alfs kernel
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jimmy Thrashmetal:

[Eee Pad Transformer General] CrazyPeter:
Video format compatibility.

I want to buy a sports camera and be able to use the honeycomb movie editor to edit the footage. I can understand why my old one couldn't edit it, as it recorded in MOV format (Apple proprietary), so I sold it.

However thinking of the Kodak Playsport XZ5, and downloaded some MP4 sample footage, which I assumed could be edited.. Nope...

Anyone know why Android can't seem to edit anything unless it was created on Android.. (it's almost as bad as Apple devices only editing video from Apple devices..)

The same footage is here: (18MB)

http://www.steves-digicams.com/camera-reviews/kodak/playsport-zx5/101_0002.MP4

Anyone know a waterproof sports camera that DOES record in a Android friendly format?

The info from MediaInfo from the file shows the following:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] davebugyi:
Tegra 2 is not very friendly with 1080p videos - either reconvert the video (threads can be found here about settings, codecs etc.) or get a Tegra 3 device :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] 2easilyamused:
I'm not a video expert, but while investigating formatting for ripping movies to play on my Android devices, I found the h.264 video codec was the most compatible. That said, I can't imagine doing much video processing on my Transformer. It's cool, but by no means a desktop/ laptop replacement.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] CrazyPeter:
H.264 IS AVC/AAC isn't it?

This is what the Kodak Playsport ZX5 camera is producing.....

Anyone have one, and can record some 720p to try on a Transformer?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Oyeve:
Because its a tablet and NOT a computer.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] CrazyPeter:
I don't see your point. I realise it's not a computer, which is the whole point of me trying to find a waterproof sports camera that records in a format the Transformers movie editing software understands, as I can't transcode it on the tablet itself....

What was your point?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Popsiclestand:
I think his point was that some tools are better suited for certain jobs while others are not. Today's tablets (particularly ones based on the Android OS) are not very well suited for things like video editing. Sure, there is a video editing program there that does a decent job of rudimentary cutting on the Transformer's already crappy recorded video footage, but for using it to edit movies/videos recorded by an external device might not be the best.

Even the cheapest laptop computer (that costs less than the Transformer I might add) could do a better job with proper software and hardware acceleration.

That being said, if you are well and determined to use a tablet to edit, I'm sure someone here can help you with a solution. My guess is you will probably need some other device to transcode before editing.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] CrazyPeter:
I will only buy something ilthat is compatible.

I only have two requirements.

1. Its video output is in a compatible format

2, its waterproof.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dburckh:
No, it's a common misconception. H264 is MP4, but MP4 is not H264. MP4 is a suite protocols. H264=MP4 Part 10. Here's the full vomit:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MPEG-4_Part_14

Anyway, 3GP, MOV, and MP4 are all MP4, but may or may not be H264/AAC.

FYI: Canon uses H264/with sowt/AIFF audio, which is a semi-proprietary Apple format (sowt is just a PCM/Wave variant). It sucks because it seems that the only thing that will play it is Apple crap or Windows 7. Most of the embedded hardware players (e.g. LG TVs/PS3) drop the audio. I don't know if Canon just didn't want to pony up the money for AAC or was trying to be a purist.

I've been toying with a lossless conversion, but I can't find any documentation on either sowt or twos. I have managed to demux the stream. The Apple stuff all refers to AIFF, which is a different format. I'm really annoyed with Canon, because generally their stuff is really good.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] CrazyPeter:
The problem I have, is what I consider to be about as close to ISO standard format as there is i.e.

H.264/AVC video (LC profile)

AAC Audio

MP4 container

Can't be played or edited on the transfomer. Surely it doesn't get any standard than H.264/LC with AAC in a MP4 container does it?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] CrazyPeter:
Well, got some 720p 60FPS and 720p 30fps footage from a test camera, and the Transformer plays the video just fine, however bizarrely Movie Studio is incapable of editing it.

I have come to the conclusion tha Movie Studio in Honeycomb is ****e.. Lets home ICS sorts out some of it's problems, and makes it more of an iMovie competitor....

the damn tegra 2 cpu has 100mflops power... compare that to a pentium 4 from 2003(northwood 3.0ghz) 6500mflops

my i7 pumps 75,000mflops

it will take the transformer WEEKS TO REENCODE ANY SORT OF MEDIA. It can barely play 1080p let alone RENDER it. good luck.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] earlyberd:
This.

Not to mention that you're limited to 1 GB of memory, and only about 700MB of it is available to apps. A decent video editing workstation these days will have at least 8GB, which is just barely sufficient for editing an hour long 720p movie. You can certainly attempt to edit videos on much less memory, but again the performance would be atrocious.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Spidey01:
Not to mention what that would do to the battery life if you trip over the cable :-p.

Can't say that I imagine a lot of people in powerful money pockets wanting anyone at home having the ability to do such stuff anyway, if there's any chance of e.g. ripping a Blu-Ray wit the same kit.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] CrazyPeter:
???? Has school kicked out or something, as I really can't comprehend how dumb these last few comments are.

the whole point of picking a video camera that records in the correct format IS SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO TRANSCODE. that is the whole point of this thread, You can't transcode on a tablet, so it's crucial to pick a device that records in a compatible format... If it's in the correct format, then it's trivial to trim and splice footage in a simple movie editor like Honeycomb's Movie Studio.

Some people really are so thick it's unbelievable...
